launched Saturday forenoon and towed to
Franklin wharf where her engine and boiler
will be put in during this week. The

We take pleasure in calling attention

We take pleasure in calling attention to
the statement of the Liverpool & London g.
Globe Insurance Company in another COL
umn. This company.is represented in every
business city in the Uniou, and its policies
are sought after by men in every business
and profession. Having the largest assets,
the largest income and having paid the larg-
est loss ever paid by any company on sim
gle fire, it stands unrivalled as the largest
Fire Insurance Company in the world. 1t
has paid $38,0OO,O00 losses in the United
States alone, and has by its manner of meet
ing claims gained for itself reputation for
strength, liberalty and promptitude, une-
qualled by any other company in the world.
The Liverpool and London and Globe, be-
sides being the strongest company on the
globe, is also the most liberal. Its claimants
are not required to wait sixty days for settle
ment of loss. In case of loss or removal,
this company pays the full amount of loss in
cash without discount. Fire risks are taken
exclusively. Its credit is stronger than that
of many governments, and its stock COM
mands over 1000 per cent premium.

some things which will pass inspection. and
show for themselves what they are. Amongst
others of this latter class is the Index Soap

soap manufacturers of this city. This soap
is made from the very best materials, refined
by steam, which removes all impurities, and
is in every particular, a Pure Soap. Espe.

it is understood. Every wholesale dealer
has to keep record of his sales. The ofi-

Does the blDle mint at future proDation?''
and our answer is decided no. Even those
who maintain this theory confess that there
is no biblical authority for it, and if this is
so why should we create one? If king had
sent message to certain province of mat
tiers of supreme Importance, would the mes
senger be justified in altering it into some-
thing else? Life or death depends upon it.
And what business can minister have to
put any such doctrine into the Bible? a
doctrine that will dim the yiyidness of that
gospel is simply to prove that message false
and send countless souls to everlasting mis-
cry This theory does antagonize the Bible.
For that teaches that this life is of supreme
Importance and that the impenitent man is
lost and lost forever. The destiny of man
hangs entirely upon the deeds done in the
bedy. The Scripture represents men diving
in sin as lost, and hence the tremendous ur-
gency of preaching the way of salvation. If
there is to be another chance. why the rush
about becoming Christians and helping to
bring others to Christ This doctrine emas-
culates the language OF the Bible. We sow
